My car went down again Monday. A good friend has loaned me an old truck until I get my car fixed. Big ol' Ford truck, big ol' 4 speed. YAHOO, y'all!

This song is not everyone's cup of tea. A friend sent me the link. I love this song... used to listen to my Dad sing it with his bluegrass band and would sing along in harmony with him at home.


There are several other versions by some really big names. Pick your fav!

Sing it loud, babe!

Someone took George Carlins' 'Football and Baseball' and added a montage of football hits at the end. Kind of stresses the point of how violent a game football has become.

I played all sports growing up. Had my bell rung a few times playing football, was put in the bleachers playing basketball and was hit or spiked (we actually wore metal spikes way back when) several times at baseball games.

I've noticed how over the years football has grown in popularity nationwide at the same rate that our violence-level and obsession with seeing violence has grown.

At my age I could still play a little slow-pitch softball. I don't see any slow speed football games around. Hell, half the guys in the NFL who are retired can barely walk or have serious concussion issues.

I still watch both sports in season. But if I had my choice, you can take me out to the ballgame and leave the football for those who want to hit something/someone.

This song should make you smile... I do whenever I think of it, and recieve funny "is-he-insane?" looks whenever I sing it out loud.

I watched every one of these shows growing up:
